1.2 BID FORM NOTES

a. Bidders shall bid on all items including optional items (see "Evaluation of Options" FAR 52.217-5). Failure to bid on all items will result in a non-responsive bid.

b. Bidders shall use the Item No. 0002 unit price to compute Item No.

0003 total price.

c. Any bid may be rejected if the Contracting Officer or his/her authorized representative determines in writing that it is unreasonable as to price. Unreasonableness of price includes not only the total price of the bid, but the prices for individual line items as well. Any bid may be rejected if the prices for any line items or subline items are materially unbalanced (see "Proposal Analysis Techniques" FAR 15.404-1(g)(3)).

d. THE NOTICE TO PROCEED (NTP): The successful bidder is advised that performance and payment bonds shall be submitted in accordance with the time frame in block 12B of SF 1442 after Notice of Award. The NTP will be issued after verification of acceptable performance and payment bonds. Within five days after issuance of the NTP, the Contractor shall initiate a meeting to discuss the submittal process with the Area or Resident Engineer or his authorized representative. Physical work cannot start until the Accident Prevention Program, Contractor Quality Control Plan, and other submittals which may be required, have been submitted and approved and all preliminary meetings called for under the contract have been conducted.

e. RAPID VENDOR PAYMENT: See the following web based instructions for the submission of invoices;

http://www.mvn.usace.army.mil/BusinessWithUs/Contracting/RapidVendorPayment.

f. As per FAR 9.104-2, special standards of responsibility have been established for this acquisition. A pre-award survey will be required.

Before award, the apparent low bidder shall provide documentation to satisfy the following definitive responsibility criteria. An apparent low bidder who is not able to meet the following definitive responsibility criteria will be deemed to lack responsibility and will be ineligible for award:

(1) Bidders shall furnish in their bid package a completed "Cutterhead Dredge and Attendant Plant Data Sheet" (see Section 35 20 23.23, paragraph entitled "Cutterhead Dredge and Attendant Plant Data Sheet"). If the apparent low bidder fails to furnish the intended dredge's "Cutterhead Dredge and Attendant Plant Data Sheet" within his/her bid package, the apparent low bidder will have 24 hours after the time of the bid opening to provide the Contracting Officer a copy. If the apparent low bidder fails to furnish the intended dredge's "Cutterhead Dredge and Attendant Plant Data Sheet" to the Contracting Officer within the allotted time, the respective bid will be declared non-responsive and the next apparent low bidder will be evaluated as stated in the paragraphs below.

(2) Upon receipt of the apparent low bidder's completed "Cutterhead Dredge and Attendant Plant Data Sheet" for the dredge plant that is intended to perform work under this solicitation, SECTION 00010 Page 5 the "Cutterhead Dredge and Attendant Plant Data Sheet" will be evaluated to ensure that the dredge meets the equipment requirements as stated in Section 35 20 23.23, paragraph entitled "Size and Equipment of Dredge Plant".

i. If, after review, the Government determines that the dredge on the "Cutterhead Dredge and Attendant Plant Data Sheet" does satisfy the equipment requirements as stated in Section 35 20 23.23, paragraph entitled "Size and Equipment of Dredge Plant", the Government will proceed with award of the contract to the apparent low bidder, provided all other requirements for award have been satisfied.

ii. If, after review, the Government determines that the dredge on the "Cutterhead Dredge and Attendant Plant Data Sheet" does not satisfy the equipment requirements as stated in Section 35 20 23.23, paragraph entitled "Size and Equipment of Dredge Plant", the Government will declare the apparent low bidder to be non-responsible and the bid non-responsive. The Government will thereafter perform the described pre-award survey on the next apparent low bidder, and will do so with each successive apparent low bidder until it is determined that the otherwise responsive, apparent low bidder, has submitted a "Cutterhead Dredge and Attendant Plant Data Sheet" that does satisfy the equipment requirements as stated in Section 35 20 23.23, paragraph entitled "Size and Equipment of Dredge Plant".

g. The unit "job" is a one-time payment for work performed. "Job" is synonymous with the previously used term "lump sum".

1.3 BIDDING

Bidders shall furnish unit prices for all items listed on the schedule of bid items that require unit prices. If the bidder fails to insert a unit price in the appropriate blank for required items but does furnish an extended total or an estimated amount for such items, the Government will deem the unit price to be the quotient obtained by dividing the extended estimated amount for that line item by the quantity. IF THE

BIDDER OMITS BOTH THE UNIT PRICE AND THE EXTENDED ESTIMATED AMOUNT FOR

ANY REQUIRED ITEM, THE BID WILL BE DECLARED NON-RESPONSIVE.

1.4 EVALUATION OF BIDS

a. The hourly dredging quantities have been determined based on the estimated quantity of shoal material to be removed and the nominal production rates of the dredge. The production rates shown in the chart in paragraph entitled "Minimum Production Rate Requirements" located in the Dredging Region Section(s) were used to make this determination.

b. The nominal dredge production rates listed in this solicitation were conservatively estimated based on lower-bound material face availability of this solicitation's dredging regions, which have variable and dynamic shoaling conditions. It is the bidder's responsibility to make its own assessment of the actual dredging conditions in order to prepare a bid for this work.

c. Award will be made to that responsible bidder presenting the lowest priced responsive bid in response to this solicitation.

SECTION 00010 Page 6

d. The hourly quantities shown on the bid lots (Bid Items, "Dredging", and "Option: Dredging") are 100% pay time hours. The actual term of the dredge rental may vary as a result of fractional pay time. Refer to section 35 20 23.23, paragraph entitled "Dredging and Option Dredging Items", for additional information.

1.5 CONDITIONS OF CONTRACT AWARD

a. Award will be made as a whole to one bidder. The dredge and attendant plant offered in the bidding schedule shall be complete with full operating personnel and in operating status for the contract period. EM 385-1-1, Section 19, "Floating Plant and Marine Activities" shall be complied with at all times. NOTE: All work under these specifications shall be performed in accordance with the provisions of EM 385-1-1 "Army Corps or Engineers Safety and Health Requirements manual", the latest edition.

b. The Government may award the contract at the total bid price, comprised of the base items and option item(s); however, the Government is not obligated to exercise any option item(s).

c. The number of hours of rental time stated in the bidding schedule is an estimated quantity. The dredge and attendant plant will be retained for an approximate number of days shown in the table below starting from 240 hrs after receipt of Government Notice to Proceed by the Contractor.

d. The bidder shall be capable of providing for assignment of the dredge and all attendant plant, complete and in full operating condition in all respects, within 240 hours after receipt of Notice to Proceed by the Contractor.

1.6 BIDDER QUALIFICATIONS

a. Before the Government will award a contract based on this solicitation, the apparent low bidder shall establish that it is

SECTION 00010 Page 7 responsible and entitled to award of the contract, by certifying that its dredge meets the appropriate production rate for the dredging region, as listed in the table in paragraph entitled "Minimum Production Rates" located in the Dredging Regions Section(s). The dredge must have performed at, or above, the listed production rate for at least 85 percent of the total contract duration, on any contracts that are used to prove plant capability, within three years prior to the bid opening date of this solicitation. Failure to establish the dredge's capability to meet the required production rate will result in a finding of non-responsibility.

b. A bidder may be rejected as non-responsible if it cannot show the necessary capital, experience, or equipment needed to perform the work described under this solicitation (see "Contractor Qualifications" FAR 9.1). The bidder must also show that the dredge and attendant plant are not already obligated for the performance of other work which would delay commencement, performance, and completion of the solicited work;

and must show that delivery of the dredge and attendant plant to the site of work can be made within the time allowed in the specifications.

c. Bidders must have a profile in SAM in accordance with FAR 52.204-7 and DFARS 252.204-7004 Alt A.

1.7 PRE-AWARD INSPECTION OF PLANT

a. The apparent low bidder shall make the dredge and attendant plant available for inspection, to determine compliance with these specifications, as soon as practicable after bids are opened, and prior to contract award. If deficiencies are found during the inspection, the bidder will be notified in writing, which may be transmitted by email or facsimile. Upon receipt of such notice, the bidder shall correct all deficiencies at least two calendar days in advance of the projected contract award date.

b. Two calendar days before the projected award date, or upon notification by the bidder that the deficiencies have been corrected, a Government representative will re-inspect the dredge and attendant plant. If at that time the dredge and attendant plant do not meet the requirements of these specifications, the bidder will be rejected as non-responsible.

c. The Government may choose to waive the pre-award inspection if the projected contract award date is less than five calendar days after the bid opening date. Waiver of the pre-award inspection does not relieve the bidder from the requirement to provide a dredge and attendant plant in full compliance with the specifications.

1.8 OPTION ITEMS

a. The Government may require the delivery of, in whole or part, all Option Items. The Government may exercise an Option Item by written notice to the Contractor. If the Government activates the Option Item, the activation will occur while the Contractor's equipment is in the work vicinity as described in the applicable Dredging Region Section(s).

(1) "Option Dredging" Item work shall be performed as a continuance of "Dredging" Item work, which shall be activated first.
